Vance Gilbert quotes:

I tell people I'm big in the music business like a barnacle is big in shipping.

I can be whatever it takes to be a folksinger. Folk music to me, if we had to have a definition, is portable music. A lot of what I do is flash, gesture, athletics, but what it comes down to is getting across a melody that will help it stick to your ribs, and being able to take it from town to town.

The music pot is broad. It's just unfortunate that the record companies cry the blues as frequently as they do.
